Just built an lsv, with a b16 head and vtec doesn't work. Previous motor was a b16a and the vtec worked in my eg hatch VX. I used the solenoid on my b16 on the lsv. Checked the oil for dents, checked and refilled my oil, and replaced the pin and gasket in the head. I was wondering if connecting the oil pressure sensor on the BLOCK would be necessary to solve the problem. Or any other suggestions???

 

First thought would be yes. Is it the sensor or the sending unit? Or are they even seperate on those>>?

 

Biggest problem with the ls vtec is trying to get the vtec to work right.

 

hook up a light to the VTEC solenoid, to see if its engaging

 

The LS block came with no oil pressure sensor on the block in the back, other than that the solenoid's oil pressure switch is connected.

 

It sure is -__-

 

How do you hook up the light?

 

i have no idea but it gets hooked up so when VTEC engages the light comes on, that way you know for sure if its engaging or not and just cant feel it.

 

throwing any codes?

 

Question: If i just swapped a JDM ITR motor and ecu into my 94 GSR and im getting an engine check light (i think code 10 and 20) and my VTEC isnt working, what could be causing this problem? What things can i look for to fix this problem?? Please help. thanks!

 

o2 sensor

 

thats the only code? i dont think 02 sensor would deal with vtec kicking in or not.

 

just hook up the power wire for the light to vtec solenoid wire, so when the vtec pops the light comes on. then u will know if its getting the signal

 

variable speed sensor
